How Long is Too Long to Wait?
Wondering how long you should try to conceive before seeking help?

Here’s a quick guide:

Under 35? Seek advice after 12 months of trying.
Over 35? Seek advice after 6 months.

Early assessment can save time, reduce stress, and provide you with options. You don’t need to wait until you're "sure something's wrong".

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance that affects up to 1 in 10 women.
It often starts during the teen years, and many don’t even realize they have it.

Why it matters long-term...PCOS can increase the risk of:

- Type 2 diabetes
- Infertility
- High blood pressure & cholesterol
- Endometrial cancer, if untreated

Early awareness = early control.

If something doesn’t feel right with your body, speak up. I you have any concerns, contact my rooms today to book a consultation.

It takes two.....

This Men’s Health Week, let’s talk about something often overlooked: male fertility.

Male factor infertility contributes to nearly 50% of fertility challenges in couples trying to conceive. Yet, it’s often the last thing evaluated and the least talked about.

Here’s what we look at when assessing male fertility:

- S***m count, shape, and movement
- Hormone levels (like testosterone)
- Lifestyle factors: smoking, stress, alcohol, weight, heat exposure
- Medical conditions and medications

A semen analysis is simple way to provide vital information early in the process saving time, emotional stress and unnecessary treatments.Get in touch to discuss your specific situation today. drchrisarthur.com.au

How You Can Support Someone Facing Infertility

Not sure how to support a loved one facing infertility? Start here:

- Listen without offering solutions
- Avoid saying “just relax” or “it will happen”
- Respect their boundaries, some days they won’t want to talk
- Acknowledge their journey, even in silence

Infertility is often invisible. It doesn’t always look like needles and appointments, it looks like strength in the face of monthly heartbreak.

Infertility Is More Common Than You Think....

1 in 6 couples experience infertility.
Yet so many still walk this journey in silence.

This Infertility Awareness Month, let’s start by acknowledging the emotional and physical toll it take, and the strength it requires to keep hoping, testing, and trying.

Infertility is a medical condition, not a personal failure.

Let’s break the silence. Share your story or simply show support. 💙

Thinking about IVF? Let’s talk planning.

IVF is a powerful fertility option - but it begins well before the first injection. Planning starts with understanding your unique fertility profile, hormone levels, and health history.
I can guide you through:

✅ Blood work & fertility testing
✅ Lifestyle optimisation (nutrition, sleep, supplements)
✅ Medication timing & cycle synchronisation
✅ Emotional readiness & support resources

Starting with a solid plan makes all the difference. If you're considering IVF, let’s discuss your options and determine what’s best for you. Call my rooms today on (07) 5597 5344

It's International Nurses Day - I am constantly in awe of the nurses who work alongside us in the delivery room, the clinic, and beyond ensuring that women and families receive the highest level of care.

Nurses are often the first faces patients see. Their tireless work and ability to provide emotional support, care, and comfort make them irreplaceable members of our healthcare teams.

To all the nurses, thank you for your unwavering dedication to our patients. Your compassion and expertise make a world of difference, and we couldn’t do it without you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mums out there!

Today, we celebrate the love, strength and resilience of mothers everywhere.

I’ve seen firsthand the dedication and courage that it takes to bring life into this world. From the moment you find out you’re expecting, to the challenges and joys of raising a child, motherhood is a remarkable journey that deserves to be celebrated.

For those who are trying to conceive, those going through fertility challenges, or anyone walking a different path into motherhood - you are seen and you are stronger than you know.

Wishing every mum, mum-to-be, and future mum a day full of love and joy!
